    Has anyone developed calcification in the bladder after treatment?

    I have not experienced calcification after BCG and mitomycin treatments. This is actually the 1st time this question has been raised on any of the forums I frequent since 2007. That being said I do believe it is extremely rare but is possible according to the research in trying to find information for you.
    This is the only reputable link I could find which gives very little information for the patient.

    I wish I could be more help, and will continue to search for information.

    Hi,

    I have no medical background but thought I would offer some thoughts. I have calcification in one of my kidneys which my URO is aware and not overly concerned. You see, I have a long history of kidney stones…I have been able to pass most (the last was 2 yrs ago) and on 2 occasions over the pass 40 yrs I was hospitalized.

    I wonder if the calcification in the bladder is related and if so, would it probably flush out with a healthy diet of water daily. They say “beer” in moderate amounts will help avoid kidney stones…

    God Bless.

    Rick
